Film:  Dark Horse

A new Todd Solondz movie.  I wanted to like the film more than I did.  It started off excellent, soon gives way to sloppiness, then almost totally veers off a cliff, only to collect itself and have a very interesting ending with a few surprisingly emotional moments.  The movie itself felt to me like they shot a very promising 2nd draft of a script.  I don't think I've enjoyed any Todd Solondz movie since Welcome to the Dollhouse...and so in his oeuvre, I'd say this comes in a solid 2nd place.
